Dethatcher Reviews! MOST EXPENSIVE vs Cheapest Ryobi vs Rock & Rocker Dethatcher and Scarifier.

[@TunafishSmoothie]

As an old man I can't work like you young guys anymore, which is and advantage for battery operated tools. Using them and then taking a break while the battery (and my old body) recharges works well.

[@pestandlawnginja]

understandable

[@lrmt2130]

I use the Ryobi commercially and have had good success with it. I would recommend running 2 sets of batteries with it though as that allows you to do a complete yard without a recharge. With larger yards you can recharge the first set of batteries while working down the second set. The scarifier is a real time saver if used properly. The Ryobi is definitely more expensive with all the batteries, and that is a drawback. But you gain ease of use as well, so there is an offset. I have several customers I simply could not use a corded unit as their yards are simply too long (I would need to run larger gauge and longer cords). One other thing I would recommend if using it commercially is to buy the unit without the charger/batteries included. Pick those up separately and instead buy the dual charger. Incrementally it is only about 50% more expensive than the single charger, and it also allows you much more efficient charging. This is also nice at the end of the day when recharging for the next day.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Love the feedback on the Ryobi thanks for sharing

[@noniespam]

Another thought with the cord is, use a generator.. I already have a small backup generator I use for camping, sump pump, freezer, when power goes out etc. etc. etc. And if you don’t have a generator it’s a nice little item to have in emergencies and using it for this will be the occasional workout it needs

[@ajlexinicole7]

I have the Rock&Rocker for my 13,000 square foot lawn....absolute monster. For the price difference and the little that it will be used....I'll keep the corded version. You can get three of them for one Ryobi. Just my opinion.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Great feedback

[@russellstewart5414]

That’s my thought, you don’t use it weekly. You can by 3 for the price of one . And it’s way cheaper than having a crew do it . Was quoted 450 bucks . I can use the rocker and throw it away and still save money

[@jwill9877]

I went the same route. The cord isn't that bad if you plan out how you are going to tackle the lawn. Always go away from the source of power

[@pestandlawnginja]

I prefer fall when it cools down and you can cut the lawn shorter without fear of it burning. Then, you'll be ready to overseed at the same time.

I bought a Wen it's the same as the R&R , I mainly use the scarifier, It's very powerful, I used setting 0 but I cut the grass at 2.5 , it really took out a lot of grass from a 600 sqft area, my only problem is the blades are not sharp so it rips the blades, I thought about getting the Ryobi but it cost to much and I'll probably only do it 4x a year.

[@beebee2731]

I have the Ryobi. I have other Ryobi products so I have chargers. I would have gone straight to the scarifier first based on the density.

in this instance i agree

[@danielcampbell3686]

In the UK you dont get the batteries, or the Second one with the springs included, the machine is £264, The little Aerator another £28, then you have to buy the Charger and Batteries Seperate. Dual Charger is £75, and the batteries range from 4AH to 9AH or £80-150 each. Now I use many Ryobi tools so this isn't really a problem, but if you were just starting out and this was your First tool, its expensive @£527.00 min for everything.

Great comparison! I had purchased the WEN a few weeks ago then cancelled it within hours. All those machines look similar. I wasn’t sure on the “scarifier/verticutter/aerator” blade being offset compared to the SunJoe (and Ryobi). Finally decided on the 15” SunJoe which is arriving later this week to use on my 3k sqft Bermuda. Wish I had an Allett or Swardman and their cartridge system but I’m too cheap (which is why I didn’t get the Ryobi).

[@pestandlawnginja]

Sun joe is a fantastic machine. I have a few

[@DS-xw3qp]

I have an Allett, an it is useless. The tynes are too short and it doesn't have the power to get in deep. I am now going to spend the money on a separate unit. I bought the Allett because of the cartridge idea, which fools a lot of people. It is a sales gimmick.

[@SFVA1974]

Are the dual battery packs wired in series or parallel ?

[@pestandlawnginja]

Parallel I believe

[@james2042]

I put 2 6ah batteries in mine and it just ran and ran. Half acre, dragging a cord wasnt feasable and I dont have a tractor, just a big walk behind. I obviously have lots of batteries and chargers so i have 0 cordless downtime. With the 40v(36v) vs 18v comment. They actually sell this as a 40v and 18v in australia, but only the 18v in the states. BUT if youre on a small yard, ryobi makes an 18v version of badically everything you need to maintain a lawn. They make a 18v 20 inch self propelled dual battery mower, they make 18v high performance blowers (at the time of the video was 450 cfm and now is 510 cfm), attachment capable brushless string trimmers. I just pile on the batteries and chargers because theres always one (or two) ready to go and I dont have to worry about a cord. Its an expensive luxury though, if price is a concern, you could get an entire lawn care set corded for the price of the ryobi dethatcher

I thought aerating was punching holes in the ground & leaving the plugs laying on top. Neither of these machines do this. Am I missing something?

[@JHaNG-]

These are dethatchers. They sweep the debris and dead grass from the ground to give better soil to seed contact

[@pestandlawnginja]

its a bit confusing since the manufacturer put aerator on the machine. you are exactly right. these machines have an attachment called a scarifier that removes thatch from the top layer down to about a .25". ryobi is calling that the aerator since its removing / disrupting some soil on the top layer

[@NotNormo]

If you're going to use the scarifier of one of these machines, is there really any benefit to going over it with the "dethatcher" tines first? To me it looks like the scarifier blade removes everything the tines remove, and more.

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

You're correct. The scarifier removes more debris.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Here’s my reasoning….. most of the time you’ll have debris that so dense on top tge scarifier seems to remove more live matter as a result. So I prefer to use the dethatcher first to remove the topical debris. Then I’ll scarify once I’m convinced the majority of topical debris is gone. I’m sure part of this is me just being super picky. In the case of this lawn where the debris was sticky it would have saved me time to start with the scarifier first. From my experience the scarifier doesn’t remove as much topical debris as the dethatcher does

I have the Sun Joe version which is basically the same thing. I noticed that the machine gets stuck a lot if the grass is not scalped to a nub. Because the front of these things are too low to the ground. It's especially bad on TTTF which is a very bunchy type grass. If you just want to do a basic over seeding and you want to loosen the soil for better seed-soil contact.... But don't want to fully scalp the grass. These things will constantly get stuck as you try to push them. It's really annoying. After using it for a few years. I'm really wishing I could afford a more professional gas powered machine that works better on non scalped grass. I just wish someone would make one at a more reasonable cost for the avg. homeowner.

Ginja, they make a 40v ryobi overseas. But the 18v one we got actually turns a 36v motor, so it is getting more power than a single 18v. Im running my Ryobi on two 12ah Milwaukee M18 batteries using Amazon adapters. 😊

Rad! Love it!

You shouldn't be using aerator and scarifier interchangeably. Scarifying is just digging grooves into the soil, aerating actually pulls out plugs of soil.

Not following what you mean to say

Sunjoe is better cost wise considering you only do it once a year or every two years

[@pestandlawnginja]

It’s a great product

[@pestandlawnginja]

Very cool. It’s a good product

“Scar ifier” not “scarified” it’s not scaring anything…..it is Scarring the top of the soil.
